Post-Game Talk: Game XVII: Guess who’s back? Ned is back! Tell a friend

[Pancakes]

Too bad Sid couldn't get a touch on that ENG. Ends his point streak.

Don't panic


I'd also like to mention something (and I'm not typically superstitious at all), but we haven't won a game against Carolina when you use the term Pens vs ''Jerks'' in the GDT.

Do we have better? on RD?

I honestly think we have a few younger guys in Wilkes and if we need to bring up a LD, they can shift Shea over…I don’t think Ruh is a big loss…

I’m going to be pissed when Sullivan starts Jarry Wednesday for whatever reason lol…

Geno probably didn't give it to Sid because he threw Geno's stick on the ice when Sid needed a stick.

<------ 1-0

Join the revolution....

One day they will break that curse

Doubt it.

5 D is better.

How do Ned and Acciari even breathe. I enjoy the symmetry they create though.

It's like there's a nose magnet between them

What a low blow!

 

[Tacitus Kilgore]

yay

 

[Pancakes]

It's nice to stop the bleeding. Winning 5 in a row was great but if we had followed that up with 3 losses that woulda really sucked.

Feels like last year we had stretches like that where we'd be good and then become a turd right after.

Hopefully this year we can balance that out better and put together multiple good stretches.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Ugh

If Ruhwedel will be out for a while, that's the easy move to make to clear space. But if he's just day-to-day, they could put POJ on LTIR and backdate it all the way to 11/5. He'd be eligible to come back 11/30 against Tampa, which is just 11 days away.

And, if Hinostroza is going to be out, they could put him on LTIR and call up a 13th forward, as well.

As it stands, they cannot reactive Ludvig without either sending someone to AHL or putting someone on LTIR.

Nedeljkovic was excellent. Just about every save he made he was square to the shooter and so many shots just fell into his lap, the sign of a goalie who is on his game.

Too bad Sid couldn't have gotten the ENG but he won't mind obviously. You take the goal however it comes. Jake had a real nice chance to score off passes from 87 and 65 so it would have been cool to see him score there to keep all their point streaks alive on one play.

Shea has much better stickhandling than I thought. He weaved into the o-zone once tonight and did a nice dangle a few games ago too. Acciari was good. If your 4th line could spend every shift behind the opposition's net you take that all day every day.

Letang made two bad cross-ice turnovers in the 1st but those were really the only bad turnovers. Much cleaner game in that respect.

Post-Game Talk: - Pens/Devils - Arrogance personified

Depressing game tonight. Hopefully they can beat one of Vegas or Carolina this weekend.

They will probably beat LVK and lose the rest because it helps them the least and Knights are the best team.

It is a positive that the Pens are no longer entirely useless on B2Bs so far this season.. so at least something is different than last season.

Amazing to watch a goalie that can move laterally and save cross angle shots.

I know. I kept assuming they'd go in or hit the post, but they were stopped every time.

 

[TheGoldenJet]

+ Malkin getting his first EN opportunity in two years, and burying it.

+ Sullsma seething at the thought of Malkin picking up an EN point.

 

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Ned regaining his rookie form would be awesome.

 

[Karl Prime]

I was a tad surprised Vegas didn't challenge the Graves goal because Eller had his stick under Hill's arm and kind of pulled him sideways before Graves' shot. Maybe they thought Hill had stuck his arm around Eller's stick therefore he initiated it. But Eller was going behind Hill in the crease. I'm interested to know how they would have called it had Vegas challenged.

 

[Chuck Norris Trophy]

Give Ned the starting job.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Hope they play Ned more. Just shows you don't need to be wasting $5 million on inconsistency when you can get similar results paying backup money.

This was the best game by a Pens goalie this year and it's not even close.
